and sustainable use of India’s rich agricultural diversity, particularly in the
face of the overwhelming forces of completion as exemplified by WTO. In
industrial sector; the management of industrial wastes, which was seen as a
necessary evil and dealt with apathy, is now the focus of corporate
strategies. Waste minimization, cleaner production and energy efficiency are
now seem as profitable practices.
